Satisfying her Big Mac attack, junior Mary Howell takes a break at McDonald's. Finding just the right shade of lipstick is important to seniors Lisa Irvin and Michelle Davison. Wonderful Wacky Weekends At 3:15, the halls filled with people. Some ran right out the door, others yelled, TGIFI” It was Friday afternoon, the weekend began. Friday afternoon was spent watching The Love Boat or some other show that didn't challenge the intelligence. All homework was thrown aside until Sunday night. Then the phone calls began. What are you wearing to the game? Are you driving, because I can't, I'm grounded from the car again, were familiar questions. Friday nights were for games, football, basketball, or soccer. After the game it was off to favorite food places. Freshmen and sopho- mores were dropped off by mom or dad to Happy Joe's or Pizza Hut. Ju- niors and seniors were found at Rudy Tacos eating their favorite. French fries with cheese, Saturday morning was for sleep- ing in. “I sleep in until one or two sometimes on Saturdays, said sen- ior Michelle Davison. The unfortu- nate ones were at school for de- tention at 8 a.m. staring at Father Deyo with sleepy eyes. Bumming around was what some students did on Saturdays. On my Saturdays, I just go to the mall, go to a friend's house, or babysit, Katherine Hoenshell, a sophomore said. Senior Sue Velth- off commented, I watch cartoons and visit my grandma. Saturdays were also spent working. Jobs ranged from those at fast food places to flower shops to clothes stores to fabric stores. Eat. drink, sleep, and be merry, was senior Tom Johnston's goal for Saturday night. Saturday night for some was spent at parties, listening to music and talking to friends. Oth- ers rented movies for their VCR's. Then it was time to rush home to make the curfew mom and dad had set. On Sundays, the last day, Mark Rausenberger, senior, told how he spent his Sundays. I cranked up some Hendrix, worked on my car, and went to church. There were football games at Lindsey park or watching games at home. I play with the neighbor kids, or go for a walk, just boring stuff, Tanya Sbra- gia, a sophomore, said. All I do on Sunday nights is homework, said junior Molly Otting. Yes, it was time to drag out the old books. The weekend was over, nothing to do until next weekend. V. J weekends 13

Chow Down vs. Shape Up Pig-our in style then exercise awhile. Have you ever found yourself saying, I'm just going to eat this now, but I'll start my diet on Monday. ? At least every girl in the cafeteria must have said this at one time or another. Pigging out has to be everyone's favorite pastime, in- cluding all those jocks who lift weights every day! How about those Elaine Powers work-out and Nautilus freaks? Even though every- one loves to eat, the fat that this enjoyment brings is unwanted and looked down upon as a curse in our society. Chris Crouch in opposition to this view said, “There's no time like the present, because Monday's a year away. Dieters use a variety of methods to lose those extra pounds , such as diet pills, excercise, reduction in food intake, cutting out sweets en- tirely, or just a mix of all the above. Diet pills are considered the most dangerous method, for obvious rea- sons, nonetheless they are still used by those wishing “to control their ap- petite. When ever one feels that little urge to grab something to eat, the most common reaction of a diet pill user is to pop a pill. This can be very dangerous if used in the wrong way in that there is a chance of overdose, but it proves to be a good method for some people. Exercise has to be the most popu- lar and widely accepted method. Ranging from Nautilus to cycling, running, and raquetball, the wide ar- ray of exercises will burn those dreaded little (or big?) calories. The reduction of intake method was most often tried but also the most often failed method. Girls would not eat all week, just to be able to fit into that new size 3 outfit they bought. Come Friday night, when they squeezed into it — Ahh — what did they do? They went to Rudy's and ordered three tacos, two burritos, four enchiladas, a plate of cheese and fries, and a large Diet Coke (?). Oh, but the guiltl! The next week they once again starved themselves. It seemed to be an end- less cycle. Cutting out sweets was practical- ly impossible, especially with all those temptations out there. Just when you thought it was safe to get a sal- ad for lunch, while waiting in line you saw those delectable chocolate snacks. Suzy-Q's, Ding Dongs, Ho- 'Ho's, etc ... The list was endless. Could anyone pass these up? When you see food you just can't ognore it!, said sophomore Colleen McDevitt. If you could, your will- power was admirable. Diet, what's that? asked junior Stephanie Friemel innocently. How- ever. for most of us, the weekly starvation and weekend party and pig-out diet was the one we liked best! But Why diet? said senior Tracy Fiese. You'll only get fat in college! 14 feati e
